Tension Rods
Well like I said DW make tension rods. For only £120 VERY VERY good quality items used on all their drift competition cars and they are orange :D

have i gone too much width on my rear wheels
yeah forget about traction in the wet. I can spin up in 4ht easy in the wet and even in 5th gear on the motorway. It does feel unsafe and undrivable in the rain.

Brake Disc Stuff!
With the porsche setup, the 911's can go from the 4 pot brembos to the 6 pot with no problems they just have to bolt on the calipers as the hubs are the same. So realistically i could bolt the big boys straight on with no problems. Disc size will need changing and my brackets will not need changing. TBH those calipers are just overkill you will never get enough heat in them to cause fade, not with an excellent pad and cooling ducts. Ive tried to get mine to fade even with budget pads and they just wont. Stopping from 160 down to 100 is a dream, I cant say the same trying to stop at slow speeds over bumps with such a stiff setup lol.... actually im not 100% sure if the cayenne calipers are the same as the 911's turbo setup. Il ring my porsche buddy now........ edit, nope cayenne are different oh well lol.

Flooding...
So does the car run rich? could be a kink in the return line which is increasing the fuel pressure.... or yeah fooked FPR. But for it to flood and prevent starting kinda points to fouled plugs...... hows your PTU?

Tension Rods
why not go for a Driftworks combo, tension rods, camber arms front and rear they do a great deal... hmmm shouldnt really be telling you this as too many zeds will be fitted with these soon and mine wont be unique anymore :(
-
Flooding...
I remeember mine used to flood if the battery was low as it would pump in loads of fuel with no spark. Had to remove them all and clean them up. How does it turn over? Did you have your injectors flow tested and leak tested, if they are leaking they could be flooding the cylinders over night and when you go to start her up shes all flooded.

You would have to use spigot rings, probably big ones lol wouldnt be a great idea but it would work. i would use metal ones so they dont melt although I wouldnt settle for a setup like that anyway, best to have a perfect fit.

Those of you with X pipe exhaust systems. Restrictive?
ah so my exhuast will be fine then... hmmmm......
-
Those of you with X pipe exhaust systems. Restrictive?
I think this might be the case, its all good having an x pipe but i think the actual x section has to be of equal bore to the rest of the system so realistically 5inchs. anywhere i can find these articles?
-
Those of you with X pipe exhaust systems. Restrictive?
You sure though? where is this proved? i suppose its true but not if the "X" is actually smaller than two pipes together which mine seems to be?
-
Those of you with X pipe exhaust systems. Restrictive?
I have the japspeed exhaust system which was purchase from ebay by the previous owner. It has the X pipe in the middle which i believe to be restrictive as it reduces down into an X and looks visibly smaller than two 2.5inch pipes which is what the system starts out as. I believe this may be restricting my top end bhp. Now, can i purchase a centre section from somewhere which doesnt tail into an X that will fit my current setup? which makes and where from? anyone? maybe a H pipe would work? Thanks

Ultralites.

Z1 RFL Bov's
post some pics of how you have installed them and some pics of the insides and we will tell you what to do. i prefer recircs but mine were leaking so installed a single BOV which is working fine with no side affects although the spring is a little hard resulting in a little stall at 2psi.

Recomended battery - BARGAIN!!!

Catch tank, plumbing diagram. Whos got the know how?
I was hoping you would pop up mark, if its not too much hassle can you draw up a diagram for me as to how you plumbed it in. one other thing, i see you have a small filter vented to atmosphere, doesnt this release crank pressure? Is this correct? i thought you had to retain some pressure or am i way off? So i should purchase a tank with a vent then?

Well il be using braided hose and which ever size joiners i need. So both turbo intake sides T into one then into the tank and back out and into the pcv again. Am i right?
